Goats squad analysis thread 2020/21

Status
Not open for further replies.

16 from 32 is 16 Zat.

Squad has to be 25 to cover injuries and suspensions.
Any less and we fall at the 1st hurdle.

Brands said last year he wants 23 in a squad.

16 + 3/4 = 19/20.
+3 u21s = 22/23




Come on... we all know Zat has filled the remaining 9 positions with the under 9s team. :p

:o

Most of that 16 are returnee's from loans etc. Possibly will go straight back out again.

I think around 11 of them are.

:( :( :(
All those CMs and not a decent one amongst them, that can deliver consistently good performances.
 

The performance of Kean yesterday gave me more hope for him than I have had all season.

Next season you could play 442 with DCL and Kean up front , allowing Richarlison to play wide left.
Sign two central midfielders and a left back( if Kenny is not being brought back) and you would have the makings of a very good team.
If we could also stretch to a wide player on the right that would be great but maybe beyond the budget.. but we would have Walcott, Gordon, I wobi and Bernard all to fight to get a game there.

These 9 will likely be off. Sales/ loans.

We then have Brands 'ideal' 23 man squad remaining.

I wonder whether he sells 3/4 and adds 3/4 or what the idea is...so many of those 23 arent good enough.

Would agree with most have that but might need to wait until winter window for Tosun to go as he will probably not recover in time.
